Dinner and a movie? Netflix and chill? Oh, come on, you can do better than that!

This is the Space Coast, and if we can launch rockets into deep space like the wizards that we are, you bet your bottom we have a world of possibilities for a night out with your special someone.

Can the "Oh, there's nothing to do here" excuse and adventure out. Here are 10 creative things to do with #bae.

1. Bioluminescence kayak tour

Titusville’s Day Away Kayak Tours features a nighttime paddling trip where living lights dance in the water. Mullet jump and manatees and dolphins keep you company. With each water movement, bioluminescence sparkles with emerald green flashes caused by tiny organisms that glow when stirred up.

PROVIDED BY A DAY AWAY KAYAK TOURS

For those who want to experience something truly magical, check out the phenomenon known as the bioluminescence in the Indian River Lagoon. This is Mother Nature's way of saying she's not, like, a regular mom. She's a cool mom.

When the weather cools down in Florida, the comb jellyfish come out to play. These little blobs are out in full force, lighting up the lagoon. Oh, and you can hold them — they don't sting! February is the perfect month to check this out, so ditch the flowers and chocolate, and try for something a little gooier on Valentine's Day. Catch the jellyfish between November and May each year.

If you miss the jellies, never fear. In the summer, the lagoon makes way for something called a dinoflagellate. That's a really big word for these little light-emitting organisms that create cold light within themselves, kind of like a firefly does, but in the water and blue. Those come out creating a magnificent glow between June and October.

Between the two, all you need is some house music and a DJ who still lives at home with his parents, and you've got the Indian River's most exclusive nightclub.

This is why a kayak tour is one of the most creative date nights the Space Coast has to offer. There are several companies, but perhaps one of the most well-known is A Day Away Kayak Tours, which touts itself as the first kayak tour to take guests on a fanciful trip through the bioluminescence. They also host dolphin and manatee sightseeing, sunrise and other nature tours. A trip will run you about $40 Monday through Thursday or $45 on the weekend. Kayak tours launch about 20 minutes east of Titusville on the Merritt Island Wildlife Refuge. There are other local kayaking options as well, including Adventure Kayak of Cocoa Beach, Cocoa Kayaking, Fin Expeditions and BK Adventure.

2. Biplane ride

Cue the Aladdin, because you're about to see "A Whole New World," people. Brevard County is perhaps at its most beautiful from a bird's-eye view. Not to mention, there's a certain kind of old-fashioned romance in the loud rumble of a World War II biplane. Hop aboard the Waco Belle, a gorgeous plane from the WWII era that was used to train pilots. Ms. Belle is owned and operated by Florida Air Tours, which takes off from the Merritt Island Airport and dazzles guests with views of Cocoa Beach, the Cape Canaveral Lighthouse and Kennedy Space Center. Don't get too big of a dinner beforehand, though. The plane can only hold up to 500 pounds per couple. Tours range in price from $40 per person (if you're flying as a couple) to $230 per person. There are also helicopter tours available.

Not gonna lie, I'm a little biased about this one. I got engaged on a gorgeous sunset flight over Cocoa Beach many moons ago on the Ol' Waco Belle. But, trust me, she's a beaut.

3. Go shooting

Under the gun for a unique date night? Ha. #puns. Get in touch with your Second Amendment rights at the FrogBones Family Shooting Center, and grab dinner while you're there, too. Nothing screams Brevard quite like a restaurant with a shooting range connected to it, am I right? Save your Mims jokes, because this place is in Melbourne. The FrogBones Family Shooting Center on South Harbor City Boulevard is an 18-lane shooting range that offers 15- and 25-yard distances. Lanes are able to accommodate pistols, hunting rifles, shotguns and tactical firearms, such as the AR-15. The cost is $15 per lane and includes ammo. Afterward, catch a bite and a beer at the range's Double Tapp Grill. The restaurant features American fare, such as wings, sandwiches and ... even frog legs? But, of course, frog legs.There is also a full-service bar, but don't even think about drinking before you shoot (no, really).

4. Skydiving

You probably won't want to surprise your mate with this one, although nothing says "I love you" quite like jumping out of a plane to your impending doom. Just kidding. You'll have a parachute and a dude strapped to you.

Skydive Space Center is based in Titusville and allows jumpers to soar over the Space Coast from 11,000-, 15,000- or 18,000 feet. Take off from the Arthur Dunn Airpark and get an aerial view of KSC like no other.

"We have just been granted special permission from NASA that allows us to fly directly over the shuttle launch pads, the main assembly building and the shuttle landing runway on our way to altitude," its website states.

Once you soak all that in, tandem jump with your "jumpmaster," an instructor who you'll be harnessed to all the way down. Prices range from $99 to $400. Also, make sure you check out Groupon, as Skydive Space Center often offers a deal.

5. Check out midget wrestling? Yes. It's a real thing.

Why yes, yes midget wrestling is a thing and it's incredibly entertaining. These men and women are true athletes and you can see them perform at areas across the Space and Teasure coasts (and the state ... and the country, actually). The Micro Championship Wrestling team puts on a high-energy WWE-like show that will "keep you on your feet, screaming and crying from laughter a the same time," event promotions for the show state.

Catch one of these out-of-the-box shows to really mix up date night. Trust me, the Snapchats will be worth it.

The Micro Championship Wrestling team performs at several local fairs, but their next gigs include a performance at Ashley's Sports Page Live in Satellite Beach Feb. 16, and then on March 10 aboard the Victory Casino Cruise out of Port Canaveral.

6. Pick your own fruits and veggies

For a change of pace, tap into your rural side and enjoy a day out in the strawberry fields forever. In Brevard County, there are all sorts of opportunities to pick your own fruits and vegetables, depending on the time of year:

— Pick your own strawberries at Sledd's U-Pick Strawberries in Mims. You also can pick vegetables just about anytime, except for the summer. Pick pumpkins and visit the sunflower maze in the fall.

— Pick your own blueberries up in Mims as well. There are several blueberry-picking options in North Brevard, but perhaps the most well known is Ever After Farms, which used be the Holland Family Blueberry Farm (it has since changed hands). Blueberry picking generally takes place in the summer.

— To pick your own grapes, and even make your own wine, visit the River House Vineyard in Palm Bay. Grape-picking generally takes place in August and September.

7. Have a rocket launch picnic

With rocket launches nearly every other week, there are dozens of opportunities in the future to make a day of it. Pack a nice meal, grab the picnic gear and cozy up at on the many parks that offer perfect viewing of a launch.

If you need suggestions for your picnic, great launch viewing locations include:

8. Destroy stuff with a tank

Crushing on someone? How about crushing with someone? For a real one-of-a-kind date, try out one of Brevard's newest. most destructive attractions: Tank America. Drive an actual tank over old cars at this Melbourne spot. Tank America is headquartered at a former National Guard armory on Ellis Road. The wooded property stretches across 33 wooded acres near John Rodes Boulevard.

This one is kind of pricey, though. It's $349 to ride in the armored personnel carrier to an Abbot FV433, where guests can drive the 17-ton vehicle along a forest trail.

For $899, the "advanced troops" package is a demolition-derby drive atop a junk vehicle — "crushing it underneath with a roaring crunch," the website states. The package includes souvenir GoPro video.

9. Ice Skating

While ice skating may be a common romantic theme in chick flicks every holiday season, in Florida, it's kind of unique, no? Lucky us, because we actually have an ice skating rink here in Rockledge. Channel your inner Bradie Tennell and check out the Space Coast Iceplex. Just don't go all Tonya Harding on anyone. Throw in a couple triple axels and really impress him or her. Do itttttttt.

Public skate sessions will cost you $10, plus a $3 skate rental, unless you're a Florida anomaly and have your own pair. And don't forget to wear your Spandex!

10. Take a gambling cruise

Forget Vegas. You can gamble your heart out right aboard a ship that leaves out of Port Canaveral. The Victory Casino Cruise line offers slots, blackjack, live craps, live roulette, poker and a bunch of other games designed to leave you broke.

No, that's not you getting seasick, it's just the feeling that comes with losing money.

The cost to board is $13, add in extra if you want to eat at the ship's buffet. I mean, really, what's a casino without a buffet. The whole gluttony theme is alive and well here, but, hey, if you win, you can afford to take your sweetie on another one of these fine dates!
